Latest blog entries from Washington teams across every league
The Nationals hung around with the Brewers all afternoon yesterday, but in the end, just couldn’t get the bats going, losing game two of the series 4-1, with a Brady House first-inning fielding error, which led to 3 runs, being all the runs the Brew Crew needed. The Nats will now look to avoid a […]
Commanders links Articles Last Man Standig (paywall) Building front to back: The Commanders’ bet on defensive speed over secondary personnel [W]hen the draft concluded, Washington hadn’t selected a single defensive back. Not early. Not late. Not at all. Washington didn’t forget about the secondary. It deprioritized it. If there’s a single stat that explains Washington’s […]
The Washington Nationals lead the league in errors, and have 7 more than the next closest team. After the game, it was clear that Blake Butera had finally lost his patience with all the mistakes. He vowed to change the way the Nats prepare before games and added that you cannot win many games when […]
Following last year’s disastrous defensive performance, Washington fans have been clamoring for a total overhaul. They were rewarded with a new defensive mind in Daronte Jones and upgrades to the front seven, including Odafe Oweh, Sonny Styles, Tim Settle, K’Lavon Chaisson, and Leo Chenal. Free agent additions to the secondary were not as plentiful, but […]
Editor’s note: Everyone’s excited about the Commanders’ NFL Draft haul. Rightfully so. That doesn’t mean each selection will slot into a prominent role as a rookie.

In this installment, we evaluate a super-productive rusher from Penn State: RB Kaytron Allen, Penn State Selection: Sixth round, No. 187 overall Height/Weight: 5-foot-11, 216 pounds What assistant GM Lance Newm...
Box Score After a couple of dominant days on offense for the Brewers, the streak cooled down early today. However, it ran just long enough to build a lead, which Kyle Harrison protected in a 4-1 win this afternoon. Most of the Brewers’ offense came with two outs in the first inning. William Contreras started […]
After yet another home loss, the Nats will look to get back on track at Nationals Park. They are now 3-11 at home, which is the worst in the league. There was not much they could do against Jacob Misiorowski last night, so hopefully the offense can get going against a different pitcher. There will […]
After the Brewers’ offense kept rolling in last night’s game against the Nationals, they will try to keep that momentum going this afternoon. It will be a rematch of starting pitchers from three weeks ago, when these teams played on April 11. First, we have today’s set of injury updates. After Jacob Misiorowski left last […]
It was unsurprising to see the Los Angeles Rams decline the fifth-year option for cornerback Emmanuel Forbes. Opting in would have cost the Rams a fully guaranteed $12.6M for the 2027 season. But that doesn’t mean the Washington Commanders’ 2023 first rounder is expendable in Los Angeles this year. Quite the opposite. The Rams are […]
Jayden Daniels didn’t have much during his second NFL season. Injuries marred his follow-up to a rookie of the year campaign where the Commanders reached the NFC title game. The quarterback missed 10 total games due to a knee sprain, a hamstring strain and an elbow dislocation that was subsequently aggravated. The former No. 2 overall draft pick played in seven games and finished only four, leaving Washington too often without its best […]

The 2026 quarterback class was considered to be a light one. Fortunately, the Commanders are not in the market for a starting quarterback, but in terms of finding a potential backup, there weren’t […]

The most important development of the Washington Wizards 2025-26 season — that didn’t involve losing — was the improvement of Alex Sarr. In his age 20 season, the big man did virtually everything better than he did in his rookie year. He scored more and on significantly better efficiency. He grabbed more rebounds, produced more […]
After a series loss to the Nationals, which had a blowout loss followed by a heartbreaking late-game loss, the Mets headed west again, starting in Anaheim to face the Angels. Christian Scott was getting his second start of the season, hoping to have a much better performance than his first, which would be difficult not […]
Dan Quinn looked right into a Commanders in-house camera moments after Washington selected linebacker Sonny Styles and said two words we’ll have to paraphrase on this family-friendly site. “Eff yeah.” The Commanders got their guy. Their head coach was pumped. Rightfully so. Styles was one of the best prospects in the 2026 NFL draft, only available at No. 7 […]
The Jauan Jennings Watch continues. He visited for a couple of days and left town without a deal but negotiations are reportedly ongoing. There are no reports (yet) of him going to visit another team. The Seahawks, Raiders, Dolphins, and Commanders are all thought to be possibilities. The Seahawks have Jackson Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, and […]
For much of his professional career, Cade Cavalli was somewhat of a myth to Nationals fans. A 2020 1st round pick with loads of upside, blazing his way through the minor leagues with electrifying stuff. He got a taste of the bigs in 2022, but an elbow injury during 2023 Spring Training kept him out […]

We may have just written about how the Nats bullpen was turning things around, but Paul Toboni is always on the lookout for new arms. The Nats have reportedly signed Max Kranick to a deal that is pending a physical. Before going down with an injury, Kranick was a solid arm in the Mets bullpen, […]
After an absolutely brutal start to the season, the Nationals bullpen has been settling in lately. The unit is still far from a strength, but they have not been losing the Nats games recently. I am still knocking on wood here, but guys like Gus Varland and Richard Lovelady have been holding down the fort. […]
Commanders links Articles ESPN Commanders revamp defense with youth, speed The Commanders ranked 27th in points and last in yards last season. They were 31st in opposing quarterbacks QBR, and their 27 turnovers combined the past two seasons was next to last. The first step to improving was hiring defensive coordinator Daronte Jones, a former […]

The Washington Commanders are entering a critical offseason in 2026, and needed an infusion of youth, talent, and some luck as they try to bounce back from a 5-12 season. The second year of Adam Peters’ “recalibration” of the roster started with sky-high expectations after an NFC Championship Game appearance the year before. A Terry […]
The Milwaukee Brewers are back on the road, as they’ll face their first repeat opponent of the season in the Washington Nationals.
